Later this week I'm teaching a class on hand-dipped chocolates. I realized in preparing for the class that I didn't have any center combinations that were valentiney. I wanted something pink. Cherry came to mind because I love chocolate covered cherries. I mean I REALLY love them. I can eat a whole box of those 99 cent liquidy center goodness. So I decided to try and make my own combination. This isn't really like me. I don't experiment too often in the kitchen. I hate spending time on something and then being disappointed with the results. Which is why I typically order the same thing in restaurants too, but that is for a whole other blog. So I looked at the center recipes I had and decided that it didn't look too hard to experiment with. Here is my result:
How much more valentine can you get? A pale pink center with splashes of red? I LOVE IT! And it tastes divine. I used a cherry flavoring from the cake decorating store, 1 drop of pink food coloring and a small jar of chopped maraschino cherries, pressed with paper towels to get the excess liquid out. The only thing better?
When they are covered in chocolate!
Results to come soon.
